Join us on Friday 7th March at The Villa, Levens to celebrate International Women’s Day 2025.

It’s a day of inspirational speakers, informative and empowering sessions and workshops, networking, panel discussion and prizes - with the day already shaping up to be even better than last year with attendees from across the county.

With a range of activities tailored to women in business, the event promises to be an uplifting and empowering day!

The venue can take up to 150 delegates along with 16 exhibitors so there’s great opportunities to also make new connections and of course we’re not just an event for women.

Those who attend will be treated to a two course sit down lunch as well as afternoon tea.

Introducing our speakers:
- Macarena Vergara, Coach, Leader-Connect
- Lina Mookerjee, Director, Praxis PPD
- Kelly Cornwell, Jim Cox Prize winner

Already confirmed as panellists are:
- Sue Howarth, Co-Director of The Family Business Community
- Julie Clayton, Chief Executive of Eden Valley Hospice & Jigsaw, Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice
- Gina Pennington, Owner and Director, Penningtons Tea & Coffee Ltd
- Mark Ebdon, Factory General Manager, Pladis
- Julie Mennell, Vice Chancellor, University of Cumbria

The Hospice will be our chosen charity for the day and we’ll be raising funds as part of the event.

If anyone would like to donate a raffle prize please email lesleyr@cumbriachamber.co.uk

Knights will be delivering a session on sexual harassment and we’ll be finding out more about women’s self-defence.

We already have two sponsors for 2025 – Knights and The Villa.
